I have one that's the opposite way around: An ABit BE6 with four IDE connectors. The first two are UDMA 33, the second two UDMA 66. Which leads to some oddball entries in your fstab file, if you opt to use the ports to the best use. Not to mention that it's UDMA 66 ports had rather poor firmware, so that many people couldn't install an OS to a drive on those ports, they had to install using another port, then shift the drive. Which brought about many problems. It was renown for being difficult to install Windows 2000 to, and it wasn't until at least Red Hat 7.x Linux that I could put Linux on it. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
